Hence, it has been urged by savants every where that courses In medicine, agri culture and engineering he maintained, enlarged and varied to meet the needs of students already enrolled or who may be enrolled later so as to enable them to serve their country most ef fectively, . . ... “The government, through the President and Secretaries of War and Agriculture, has indicated this to be one of the most patriotic and neces sary services which can be rendered the United States at this time. “Men of vision perceive that upon the cIobo of the war the fiercest Indus- trial struggle of the ages will occur by reason of the changed order of events which It has brought about in European countries. "If this be true, it is more import ant than ever that the special service which technical Institutions can ren- 'der be immediately recognized and the number of students they enroll greatly Increased so that the United States may be prepared at the end of the and manufactured articles.” Definite Grades At Known Prices Give men confidence in their clothing pur chases.

Atlanta, September.—(Special)— Pick out all your cotton and destroy all stalks, if possible, at least thirty dayB before the first killing frost, urges the Georgia State Board of Em tomology; for only In this way can the ravages of the Mexican cotton boll weevil be effectually checked in the coming season. Stalk destruction should be begun by October 15th and pushed just as rapidly as possible; for It Is the most Important single thing that can be done la effectively fighting the weevil, says State Entomologist E. Leo Worsham. Proven By Results Results this year show, Mr. Wor sham states, that whero stalks were destroyed early last fall, and where other Instructions were followed In the spring, growere made a good crop of cotton In spite of the boll weovll. Dr. W. D. Hunter, cotton expert of tho United States Bureau ot Ento mology, nays: “Fall destruction of weevils, (by destroying the etalke,) Ineures u crop for tho following sea son." The five following reasons are given for the Important fall destruction of cotton plants: 1. Hordes of adult weevils, many for each plant In the field, are killed outright 2. Many more weevlle that are In tho Immature stages, sometimes as many ss a hundred for each plant In the field, are alao Wiled. 3. The few adult weevlle escaping will be weakened by starvation. Most of them win be too weak to paea through tho winter. ' . , 4. Tho development of tho late broods, which furnish *ha treat ma jority of weevlle that pace through tho winter, I* cut off Immediately. 8. 6eetruetlon of tho lnfeeted plants with the weevlle fscllltatee feM or early winter plowing, which lo al- way* good In eoiton raising. Importance of Seed Selection. One of the next moot Important things after fall stalk destruction, is careful seed selection, about which the department has already given advice In the state press. The use of good seed, and of pedigreed seed where ob tainable and the destruction ot stalks In the fall, are tha two most Import ant items In boll weovll control. Every farmer should be.assured as to the quality of his seed for next season. Any who are Interested should write to the Georgia State Board of Ento mology, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga., for bulletin No. 48 on seed varieties, and No. 47 on controlling the boU weevil. These will be of material help. The best way to beat the boU wea 'l Is to give him nothing to eat, and rise everything that anybody else eats TbomaavlUe Times. EVERY GEORGIA FARMER SHOULD PLANT SOME WHEAT THIS FALL Atlanta, September.—(Special.)— The continued and persistent high prico of wheat and flour, and the pros pect that the same heavy demand Is going to continue for a long time to come, should encourage every farmer to plant all the wheat he con attend to this fall. The Georgia State Board of Ento mology, In urging all farmers to plant wheat, calls attention to certain facta that must be taken Into consideration to insure success. The Heoslan Fly. In the first place there la tha lies- alan Fly, which Is the boU weevil of the wheat crop. This Insect disap pears only at killing frost, so that the only safe way Is to delay planting of all wheat, rye and barley until after the first killing frost Where the grain Is planted solely for grazing purposes only. It Is not necessary to wait The next most Important thing Is to take precautloa against “smut” All ->ed should be treated for smut ho ur,, planting. The fcpst and cheapest The Way To Bent The Boll Weevil. treatment is that with formaldehyde, which may be u^d at a cost of not more than 5 cents per acre. How To Treat For 8mut The grain should first be cleaned thoroughly with a fanning mill so that smut balls, shriveled grain, chaff, eta, will be removed. After the grain Is clean It may be spread on n floor or n tarpaulin in a layer or pile several Inches thick and sprinkled with a solu tion of formaldehyde made by mixing 1 pound of commercial formaldehyde with 45 gallons of water. An ordinary sprinkling can or n spraying machine Is used and the grain Is shoveled over and over until every kernel la wet. The grain la then placed In a pile and cov ered with sacks, blankets, or a terpau- Hn for two nours or overnight It Is then dried sufficiently to be run through the drill, after which It may be sown. If the grain Is not passed through a fanning mill, Itatyold be placed in a vat or tank of theifonnal- debyde solution Instead ot being sprin kled. The smut balls will rise to the surface and may be skimmed off.
